Loved everything about it. It’s such an honest informative book. I was very invested in the different client stories. And it’s so easy and well written. Loved it.

One of the most moving books I've ever read

About life death, love and the therapists in between. 

I would recommend this book to anyone curious about or suspicious about the thereputic process as this very funny and extremely moving memoir gives a fascinating insight from both sides of the couch. 

As humans we are all frail but we can be so resistant too. This book shows us how.
